PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE (2023-2024)
I’d like to thank our Auxiliary for all the help and support you have given me during my presidency. We have accomplished so much. Just this past year we have raised funds for K-9 Camo Companions with a dog show. They connect veterans with a dog and offer classes for them at no cost. We have given funds to the Veterans Garden in Wyoming and to Friends of Rolling Rock Ranch, which has a yearly pheasant hunt just for veterans. Our poppy fundraisers this year have been great. We have sold our members and visitors poppy key chains and baked goods, along with basket raffles. All those funds go directly to support veterans. Now, we kick off The Queen of Hearts to raise even more money! We are a busy group. Don’t forget our adopted school (Parkview Elementary). We have an ongoing donation box for school supplies.
A special thank you goes out to Val Jordan and Torie Carlson for the weeding and maintenance of the memory garden. Thanks also to all of our bartenders for helping out with all of our fundraisers. Of course, thanks to all of our Auxiliary membership as well as members of the Legion and SAL for their support. Last but not least, a thank you to Tracy Taylor Wakefield for spell checking and editing all our news articles.
Enjoy your Summer!
Patricia Coykendall, Auxiliary President 2023-2024
